Fraschetteria was a literal dream in the midst of touristy Rome. We could not tell which…read morerestaurants were good or not UNTIL we walked in and saw how small the restaurant was. You definitely need to make a reservation; we saw many parties get turned away while we were dining. Every item that we had was wonderful. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on this menu. We started with a really great Bruschette that was full of salami and drizzled with truffle honey. The Carbonara & Lasagne were great. The Porchetta was possibly the best meat I've eaten in all of Italy, you HAVE to get it if you come. Service was really great as well! Just be aware that you have to go down a pretty narrow staircase and that the tables are all close together.

Let's start with the positives: the location is very nice: a terrace as close to the sea as…read morepossible without getting in the water. The food was good but not excellent: for example, in the tuna tartare the flavor of the capers overwhelmed that of the tuna itself instead of enhancing it. Similarly, the "spaghetti al riccio" were good but not memorable. The very extensive wine list was surprisingly lacking of a local wines: more french wines and champagnes than wines from Isola d'Elba or even Tuscany. Anyway, personally I like tasting "farm-to-fork" or local foods whenever possible. However, that's a choice of the owner ... I guess they feel differently. One minor flaw that turned me off is when I asked for a local "amaro" to finish my dinner, the waiter stated "we don't have any local amaros: they are too commercial". This rubbed me the wrong way, there's no reason to put others down and also I tasted some perfectly nice amaros "of the house" in other restaurants. Overall, the location was nice although not easy to reach due to the super narrow road to get there, the food was good but not "to die for", the price way steeper than other restaurants on the island (with better food), and the service was attentive but a little too pretentious. I doubt that I'll go back

Matteo was humble, funny and informative; sharing tips on how we could recreate the dishes he created for us. Our starter was a savory pumpkin flan. Chef Matteo made fresh pici pasta with a spectacular garlic and green tomato sauce topped with hot pepper (capsicum) strands. I've made my own pasta before, so I know it is not as easy as he made it seem, but it has inspired me to try again, because fresh pasta cannot be beat! The restaurant is intimate, and the inside is absolutely gorgeous. The teal color walls against the exposed stone is eye catching.

Mateo really took the time to explain how to cook specialty items, and the importance of knowing your ingredients and knowing your equipment. He also detailed how "where" you live can cause a need for adjustments in cooking temps & times. I am so grateful for his motto of "no secrets in the kitchen". For him, it is all about sharing and collaboration. We started with popcorn sprinkled w/ paprika. I have never had it like that before and it was so light and tasty. The 2nd course was a pumpkin flan. He taught us the rule of balancing - 4. 1) 2oz eggs, 2) 2oz kitchen cream(or heavy cream), 3) 2oz milk and 4) 2oz pumpkin (or fig or veg, etc.). It was SO GOOD. Topped with sweet peppers shaved like saffron, a pistachio crema, & pistachio pieces. Little dallops of basil & pistachio gelee circled the little flan disc as pops of brightly flavored bursts. OMG!! Delectable! Paired with a rich Sangeovese, it was amazing!! Then we moved on to the 3rd course. Pici pasta. The pasta was superb! Fresh, fresh, fresh! with a home made green tomatoe and elephant ear garlic sauce. A deep "Super Tuskan" red to accompany was perfection. For dessert we had Cantucci and Vinsanto. What a lovely night!
